What a wild ending to a game.
The Vikings upset the Saints 26-20 in overtime in the wild card round on Sunday.
While Kyle Rudolph hasn’t been involved as much in the pass game as prior seasons, he came up big when the Vikings needed him most.
In one-on-one coverage, Rudolph caught a four-yard touchdown to give the Vikings the walk-off win. It’s the second time in two years the Vikings have done so against the Saints.

Did Rudolph push off? Maybe. But the refs have been wildly inconsistent all season on pass interference calls. For them to call this one would have been a surprise.
Rudolph finished the game with four catches for 31 yards and what will go down as a very memorable touchdown catch for both fan bases.
The Vikings will now hit the road again to take on the 49ers in the Divisional Round.
